Did I just scam myself & screw up everything, or is this how it should work?

I have almost 100 hours in the server, up until now I have pretty much just played as a trucker for a company, and got fired a few days ago.

 

I have managed to build enough money to buy my own truck, so I went to the dealership and bought a Pounder for 135K.

 

Now my issue is:

I am short of 4k to register the vehicle, and wanted to do 1  trucking delivery just so I can have enough to register the truck.

But when I use /startshipment it says "You are not allowed to drive such a vehicle yet, or it is an invalid trucking vehicle."

 

Is this because I need to register it first to start trucking, or is it legit because I didn't do enough deliveries to use a Pounder?

 

If it's the second reason, it doesn't make sense to me. I understand if I'm in a company and they dont allow you to use bigger trucks up to a certain amount of deliveries, but if I BUY MY OWN truck why can I not use it?

You need the correct deliveries amount (300? 400? I think), it's just the way the script works unfortunately.

Hey there,

 

I guess this is normal to prevent people to drive with large vehicles without experience in the job. You need at least 500 deliveries to be made in order to use it, guess this is just a form of protection towards other players on the road.

Basically that.
I'd make a Refund Request for the amount of money you have spent on the truck, an accomodating admin might give you the full price of the pounder back, as you might not have known about this.

Either that (a refund) or keep the truck and buy a vehicle you can work with until you reach 500 deliveries as you'll need the truck anyways when you do, if you want to go down that route.

Alright, thanks for the replies guys, I'll just try to make a refund request in hopes to have it accepted, I'm left with like 20k so even if I wanted to buy a smaller truck I wouldn't be able to do so.

 

I guess it makes sense to prevent people from buying big trucks (especially with the 5k per hour thing on new accounts), but I still hope one day it might change, maybe based on the playtime hours or something, as if you have enough cash to buy your own truck it should let you use it even without the required amount of deliveries.

 

Anyways, thanks again for the info. ?

Seems as if your question has been answered! Apologies but I hope you have luck with your refund request!
